Kirkistown Castle Golf Club is located approximately 40 km from Bangor and not far from Belfast, on the beautiful Ards Peninsula. Kirkistown Castle Links is the easternmost 18 hole course in the country. In 1902 the first nine holes were drawn by GL Bailie of Belfast then extended to 18 in 1929, but it was in 1934 that it was remodeled by the famous Scottish architect and five-time British Open winner James Braid, designer, between others, the "King's Course" and "Queen's Course" at Gleneagles and in 1926 the modernization of Carnoustie Old Links, host of the Open for the eighth time in 2018.
Its holes are very varied and offer superb views of the Irish Sea coast, the wind if it comes into the game can be a determining factor. Its signature hole is 10, a par 4 of almost 400m called “Long Reach” and particularly difficult with a small elevated green surrounded by gorse, hawthorn and rough bushes.
The wide variety of holes will test every facet of your golf game and, being located on the Irish Sea coast, the wind is usually another "hazard" to add to those already present on the course. A real golfing challenge!
